Mark, I'm not sure what you mean by: "eskimo list replies to the
person who sent the mail and cc's the list name" but just for the
record, the Eskimo list server doesn't change any of the sender's
headers; it does not add a Cc header, but it does pass one intact
if the author supplied one. Nor does the server add a Reply-To
header, if that's what you're pining for.
It does add the Resent- headers that I mentioned in my earlier note,
and those would be the headers you would add to your whitelist. It's
simply not true that you need to "white list everyone who is on
the list"; you simply need to whitelist everything resent by the
list server.
Here are those headers again, in case you missed them in my last note:
Return-Path: <omega-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx>
Resent-From: omega-list@xxxxxxxxxx
X-Mailing-List: <omega-list@xxxxxxxxxx>
Resent-Sender: omega-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx
Any of those will identify email as having been resent by the
omega-list server. As Ross said, it really is that easy.
